Pavlovsky Gleb Olegovich. Detailed biography, photo

Fate presents pleasant and unpleasant surprises. Often I want to leave ordinary work and try to find a new one, my way. Each person creates his own destiny. Someone consciously, and someone - how to get. Pavlovsky Gleb Olegovich looks philosophically at his life, whose detailed biography abounds with ups and downs, sharp turns and inexplicable zigzags.

Parents

Originally from the famous Odessa Pavlovsky Gleb Olegovich. 1951 year of birth was unremarkable. But the date of March 5 brought many new acquaintances into shock. This is the day of Stalin's death, which was perceived by contemporaries as the beginning of a new life.

Gleb parents are quite ordinary people. Father had the profession of an architect. Worked as a design engineer. Sea stations of the Black Sea from Odessa to Batumi are equipped according to its blueprints. The mother had an exotic specialty hydrometeorologist. She worked at the Odessa weather station. At the mother's workplace, the boy saw how the forecasts were made.

School years

In 1958, the boy goes to a regular high school. Being still a child, he clearly understood one rule: one must prove oneself. For the first time such a feeling came about five years ago. Then the father, trying to teach his son to swim, threw the boy off the dock. Salty water, filling the mouth and nose, later surfaced in memory during street teenage fights. However, Gleb Pavlovsky studied well. The granite of science was given to him easily.

The family loved to read. Books were everywhere, they were turned into a kind of deity. The cult of the printed word led to reading in vain. Zhukovsky's works and Krylov's fables, Russian and foreign classics and in general everything that could be bought, was read in this family. The cocktail of conclusions and conclusions excited blood. The boy's father seemed old-fashioned, bourgeois, not understanding modern life.

In 1968, Gleb received a certificate of secondary education. There was not a single triple or quadruple. The young man faces the question of choosing the next path. One thing he knew for sure: on the way his parents would not go. We needed a revolution, a revolution in the planned destiny of Odessa.

Students

Pavlovsky Gleb chooses Odessa University. The historical faculty seemed to the young man the most attractive. He enters the faculty without any problems. History as a science has always attracted the attention of yesterday's schoolchild. He liked to immerse himself in the world of ancient times, which were chronologically represented in the works of historian scientists.

1968-1973 - a period of remarkable student life. The revolutionary spirit permeated at that time not only the air, but also the walls of the educational institution. The child of 1968 can be called a revolutionary circle, created by the youth. The ideas of the commune students tried to implement in their small team. The circle was named "SID" (the subject of historical activity).

It was at the university that Gleb Pavlovsky tried his hand at journalistic work. Studying in the second year, he released a wall newspaper "XX century". We perceived it ambiguously. Someone did not understand, someone admired. And the university party bureau removed it with a short formulation "For anarchism." The editor of the newspaper suffered for his offspring, he was expelled from the Komsomol.

Professional Experiments

In 1973, student life ends. Pavlovsky Gleb receives the diploma of the historian, the standard blue booklet. And sent to work in school as a history teacher. I did not manage to hold out at the first workplace for a long time. His passion for novelties, especially forbidden, led to an acquaintance with the KGB. In 1974, a young teacher was arrested for storing and distributing Solzhenitsyn's book The Gulag Archipelago. He confessed everything and was released. From school he was persistently asked to leave.

Change the life, escape from the circle of predictability of further events decides Pavlovsky Gleb. To achieve this goal, he moves to live in the capital. Decides to change the profession, acquires the working specialty of the joiner. From 1976 to 1982 he worked there, where he could only find work. A construction worker, a carpenter and even a lumberjack - and this is all a person with a higher historical education.

At this time he finds a soul mate in the person of Michael Gefter. At the turn of the seventies and eighties, Gefter founded a free samizdat journal, The Search. Despite the absence of a Moscow residence permit, he accepts his student as co-editor. Five numbers appeared in the light. After that, the KGB arrested the head of the literary department Valery Abramkin. Publishing was banned and the magazine was closed in 1981. A year and a half later Pavlovsky Gleb was arrested.

For cooperation with the investigation, the court replaces the imprisonment with a reference to the Komi ASSR. A three-year stay away from political centers forces you to find work in order to earn a living. The stoker, the painter - these are the new professions that the dissident has known.

Again Moscow

The link is over. In December 1985, despite the ban on living in the capital, Pavlovsky Gleb Olegovich returned to Moscow. Biography and life again makes a zigzag. The year had to hide. Soviet society does not need a person with a criminal record. The dissident community has not forgiven the desecration of its main shrine - the idea of confrontation. Job search leads Gleb to the youth club on Arbat, which processes letters coming from all sides of the USSR to the central newspapers. On its basis, the "Club of Social Initiatives" (CSI) is created. Pavlovsky is one of five co-founders.

The editor of the magazine "Century XX and the World" Anatoly Belyaev takes Pavlovsky to work. He took a risk: to warm up a person with a conviction and without a Moscow residence permit is akin to suicide. Since 1987, Pavlovsky Gleb Olegovich - journalist of information co-operative with a short title "Fact" under the leadership of Vladimir Yakovlev.

1989 - a journalist, a historian, a dissident goes on a separate voyage. He heads the magazine "Century XX and the World", creates the PostFactum news agency (Postfactum).

In the spring of 1994, again under investigation, Pavlovsky Gleb Olegovich. A well-known journalist is accused of developing an analytical scenario "Version No. 1". In fictitious history, the possibility of an anti-presidential conspiracy is thoroughly considered.

Approaching power

The next year of 1995 brings a new idea and its implementation. This is the year of the creation of the Effective Policy Foundation (FEP). The new organization takes an active part in the elections to the State Duma. But the political association "Congress of Russian Communities" did not have the necessary number of votes to represent its candidates to the Duma.

Elections of the president in 1996 gave a wide field for the deployment of the Effective Policy Foundation. He becomes the chief adviser to Boris Yeltsin's headquarters in the election campaign, works with the media.

Internet journalism

To catch the wind of change is not possible for everyone. Always to guess the right direction, Pavlovsky Gleb Olegovich can begin to act actively. A Russian political scientist was one of the first to assess the role of emerging journalism on the Internet. He creates a networked "Russian magazine". The post of the editor-in-chief is taken by himself

Information sites are another source of inspiration and profit. The most famous of them were Vesti.ru, Media.ru and Strana.ru. The last two are under his personal control.

The place in the modern world

Today Gleb Olegovich is called in different ways. This is a political scientist and provocateur, philosopher and analyst, PR genius and manipulator. It is he who is credited with the loudest scandals of our time. Under his leadership, Berezovsky resigned. He controlled the targeted compromise of the wife of Moscow Mayor Luzhkov. But the main merit is the company to promote Vladimir Putin to the Kremlin and replace Boris Yeltsin. But Pavlovsky Gleb Olegovich is not going to comment, deny or confirm these judgments. A well-known political scientist considers this not so important. According to him, he simply writes an applied history.

Approaching the first people in the state remains a matter of the first number. Today he is an adviser to the head of the Presidential Administration. The political scientist can give advice to VV Putin. The head of the Russian Federation listens to the recommendations of a seasoned journalist and historian. The most important strategist of the Kremlin - such an honorary title was received by the President's adviser from Time magazine.

Family and friends

Political career has developed successfully. Business is booming. Pavlovsky himself says that he can do little. But his family life does not have a predictable finale. Violent activity did not make Gleb Olegovich successful in creating a traditional union.

The first time Gleb Olegovich married Olga Ilnitskaya as a student. In marriage, the son Sergei was born. Before his move to Moscow in the mid-seventies, he is divorced. Life in a family with a young child did not give space. Now the son is already an adult, working in one of his father's online publications.

With other children, such close relations did not work out. In total, five more children have Pavlovsky Gleb Olegovich. Personal life and career of a well-known political scientist and journalist developed dynamically. With the former wife of Olga, the warmest relations have been preserved.

A large number of friends have no known political technologist. He takes care of his few old and trusted comrades. Among them the most famous is Valentin Yumashev.
